Statement of Work 06-6C3 Heat, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) System. Continuous Water Treatment and Associated Service For the Defense Microelectronics Activity (DMEA), 4234 54th Street, McClellan, CA 95652-2100. I. Objectives: Provide water treatment to the DMEA water based HVAC heat transfer systems to: a. Maintain all chiller condenser loop equipment (including chillers, cooling towers, piping and components) to be free of scale, biological contamination and corrosion. Keep heat transfer surfaces clean and efficient so as to minimize energy use. b. Maintain the hot and chilled closed loop systems (including boilers/chillers, piping and components) to be free of corrosion and biological contamination. Keep heat transfer surfaces clean and efficient so as to minimize energy use. c. Keep HVAC system water properly treated to ensure the health of DMEA employees and contractor staff is not negatively impacted by exposure to HVAC system water or mists. d. Minimize the use of water and chemicals while accomplishing objectives a, b and c above. c. Properly contain biocides, inhibitors and other water treatment products so as to ensure worker safety and environmental compliance. II. DMEA Systems Included: 1. Two each 500-ton Trane chillers (primary and alternate are alternate weekly). The cooling load on the one operating chiller is typically 40-50% of capacity. There are two each- two cell cooling towers (BAC 15325-2D http://www.baltimoreaircoil.com/english/info_center/drawings/1500_draw.html#15325 ) that alternate operation with the chillers, each equipped with a sand filter system. 2. Two hot water boilers and associated hot water piping and equipment serving 16 roof mounted air handlers and various fan coil units (in warehouse areas and office variable air volume boxes). The total water volume of the system is unknown. The system is equipped with a pot feeder. 3. Chilled water loop system serving 16 roof mounted air handlers and various fan coil units (in warehouse areas and office variable air volume boxes), as well as computer air conditioning (CAC) units located throughout the facility. The total water volume of the system is unknown. The system is equipped with a pot feeder. III. Specific Requirements: The contractor shall: 1. Provide all Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) and effective treatment parameters (concentration ranges, pH, conductivity, treatment frequency and volume for biocides) for water treatment products used and systems treated at DMEA. 2. Supply, configure, install, integrate and maintain a fully automatic cooling tower water treatment system to help meet the objectives. The system shall, at a minimum include: a. Digital water treatment controller with continuous, real-time condenser water conductivity display and conductivity remote output, conductivity control, accurate inhibitor application and dual biocide application capabilities. Inhibitor application based on make-up or blow down volume is preferred over traditional ?bleed and feed?. A non-pulsing blow down meter is installed on the blow down line. There are no meters on the make-up water lines. b. An inhibitor metering pump. c. Either two biocide metering pumps or one biocide metering pump and a brominator with associated automatic control valves. d. sample stream including flow switch, conductivity probe, chemical injection quills and a sample port. e. A blow down solenoid valve. 3. Provide, deliver, install, and apply all water treatment chemicals as required to fulfill the objectives above and maintain water treatment parameters 24 hours and day, seven days a week. All chemical handling, application and testing shall be accomplished by the water treatment contractor. No testing or chemical handling shall be done by DMEA employees. The contractor shall remove all empty containers generated from water treatment activities. The water treatment chemicals shall include: a. Cooling tower scale and corrosion inhibitor. The addition of silica control polymers is recommended due to silica in the make-up water when the Sacramento Suburban Water District uses their well sources. Make up water conductivity is subject to significant variation due to changing water sources used by the Sacramento Suburban Water District. b. An oxidizing biocide suitable for use at cooling tower pH levels. c. non-oxidizing biocide or bio-dispersant. d. Closed loop inhibitor (sodium nitrite based to be compatible with existing treatment with additives to protect yellow metals too). e. Note that deviation from the above treatment product categories will be considered by the DMEA Technical Representative if conclusive evidence is provided that the alternative approach proposed is safe and effective. 4. Apply biocides as necessary to meet the above objectives and provide bacteria counts of less than 105 colony forming units (CFU)/ml. 5. Keep the cooling tower basin free on slimes and algae. 6. Provide in-service containers and double containment providing at least 20% more capacity than the in-service container. Label all containers and spill containment vessels. 7. Conduct service visits as often as necessary to fulfill the objectives. At least monthly the water treatment contractor shall: a. Visual inspect the water treatment system and treated systems. Correct any deficiencies noted with the treatment system and annotate action take in the service report. Note any HVAC system leaks of other conditions requiring DMEA correction (leaking pump seals, etc.) in the service report and immediately via telephone to the DMEA Technical Representative as warranted. b. Conduct make-up water tests: Conductivity, pH, and, if conductivity is +/- 50 microsiemen from the prior months visit: silica, hardness and alkalinity. Annotate results in the service report. c. Conduct condenser water tests: Inhibitor concentration, conductivity, pH, total bacteria count (dip slide), cycles of concentration. Annotate results in the service report. E-mail dip-slide results after the required culture period. d. Conduct closed loop water tests: Inhibitor concentration, conductivity, pH, iron concentration (iron test only required when water has any visual yellow tint). Annotate results in the service report. e. Annotate water treatment product applied and volume used in the service report. f. Provide the written service report to the DMEA technical representative within 3 days of the service visit. g. Maintain on on-site log of water parameters (conductivity and treatment levels). 8. Respond to trouble calls within 4 hours during normal working hours and 6 hours after duty hours. IV. Security: DMEA is a secure Department of Defense facility. Water Treatment Contractor employees must be US citizens and are subject to a background investigation prior to conducting unescorted visits to DMEA. The water treatment contractor shall limit the number of employees servicing DMEA to no more than 3 to avoid unnecessary investigation costs without specific authorization from the DMEA Technical Representative. V. Regulatory Compliance: The water treatment contractor shall maintain compliance with all Federal, State and local requirements for the sale, distribution and application of biocides and other hazardous materials. VI. Other Information: 1. Maintenance: DMEA?s HVAC contractor conducts monthly preventative maintenance on the chillers and cleans the chiller tube bundle annually. The cooling towers are cleaned annually by the HVAC mechanical contractor. The boilers are also under a preventative maintenance program. 2. Facility Size: The DMEA facility is approximately 75,000 sq ft. FAR 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications ?
